TTG “Only Alan Hansen is worth what he is paid. Can do without the rest of them that sit in the studio“ TTG - you sure about this - Alan Hanson worth £1.5 million per year ? Not a case of “What did the man say to the man?”

In a mo - “ What about SKY Andy Grey the Highest Paid by a long ball. Yes I know he is not on at the Mo” - No more than £25k per year plus receipted expenses when hes working.

Flobadob - “You should all tune into RTE2 for the punditry. Eamon Dunphy, Johnny Giles, Graeme Souness and a few more. They tell it how they see it, they don't lick up and they are great craic. Don't know what they are paid but they are probably worth it.” sounds good but I wouldn’t pay any of em more than £25k - £30k pa - plus, of course, necessary receipted expenses.

“They are well paid for telling us the obvious” - more or less agree Steve - and well overpaid if Earle and Hansen reported money is correct

Some of you on here might be aware of my total indignation of the fact that i am forced to pay this 'tax' also known as the TV licence fee , in order to watch 'any ' channel .

To rub salt into the wound , by default i'm also forced to contribute directly to the vast wages of these over paid so called ' pundits' - and others .

Alan Hansan - paid 1.5 million pounds - for what exactly - to waffle on , stating the obvious ?
